These Australian doctors swallowed pieces of Lego for science

Come on Straya.

Researcher Andrew Tagg of the University of Melbourne and a handful of intrepid pediatricians took some Lego heads so that they could answer the question "My child has swallowed a piece of Lego, how long will it take to he to go out? "

Based on their hardness and stool transit scores and their time scores found and recovered, the average journey in this small sample group was 1.7 days.

Except for an unfortunate pediatrician who had not yet found his yellow head lost after two weeks of research.

They concluded that Lego swallowed was not a big problem, but according to Tagg:

"Although the majority of things that children swallow pbad by, some may be dangerous and parents need to stay alert."

There is also an excellent Q & A on how it all happened here.

We finally answered the burning question: how long does it take for the head of an ingested lego to pbad?

This is a dedication to pediatrics – but it was worthwhile to advance pediatric science and emergency care.https: //t.co/tZ4b9Yo8Kf pic.twitter.com/Nda7rqs7Zl
